Become A Church Keyboardist In 7 Days (Lesson 1)

BECOME YOUR CHURCH KEYBOARDIST IN SEVEN DAYS (Lesson 1)

Introduction-
For this lesson to be successful you'll need a working keyboard placed in front of you. Put on the keyboard and minimize the volume.
Facing the keyboard, you'll notice it consist of white and black keys. The white keys were arranged serially while the black keys were arranged in groups of 2 and 3.
Try to press the keyboard keys (white and black) from your left hand side to your right hand side. You'll realise that, the sound from the left are tick and becomes light as you play forward to your right hand side. That means keyboard sounds were arranged from left hand side to the right.

Identification of note C and middle C is the next. 


Note C is the first white key before a two set of black keys. 'Before' means, the white key on the left side of two sets of black keys. Once you identify note C then, count all the note C on your keyboard from your left hand side to the right. Note C that falls in the middle is called middle C. From your middle C to your right hand is for your right hand fingers. Other notes from your left to the middle C is for your left hand fingers

The next lesson is to name the fingers of your both hands since you'll be using them to play the keyboard. Either left or right hand, your thumb is number one,index finger is 2nd, middle finger is 3rd, ring finger is 4th while pinky finger is the 5th finger irrespective of the hand




Follow this step sequentially (Do not jump any step)
1. From your middle C, play this notes with prescribed fingers
1 2 3 4 5 Right Hand only
C D E F G
d r m f s
Play clockwise/ascending, repeatedly 4 time. Then play anticlockwise/descending, repeatedly 2 times. Finally play the notes ( CDEFG,right hand only) ascending and descending, non stop, 5 times.

2. Identify note C next to the middle C on the left side of the keyboard. Place your left hand on the note and play the following note with the prescribed fingers.
5 4 3 2 1
C D E F G
d r m f s
Play clockwise/ascending, repeatedly 4 time. Then play anticlockwise/descending, repeatedly 2 times.
Finally play the notes ( CDEFG,left hand only) ascending and descending, non stop, 5 times.

3. Try to combine both hands and play same notes simultaneously(at the same time).
1 2 3 4 5 Right Hand
 C  D  E  F  G
d   r  m  f   s
 5  4  3   2  1   Left Hand

Play that over and over until you can close your eyes and still play correct notes. Start very slow and gradually increase your speed

4. Learn this tonic solfa, first with right hand and later with left hand and finally with both hands combine. Take note of fingers assigned to each note

Now the day is over

BECOME YOUR CHURCH KEYBOARDIST IN SEVEN DAYS (Lesson 2) Introduction- Make sure you have practise lesson 1 before you lay your hand on this lesson 2. In our previous lesson we learnt how to find note C and middle C. Here we'll learn a complete scale of C Major on a keyboard. A complete scale of C major is as follows: C D E F G A B C d  r m f  s  l  t  d New letters here are A B C (l t d) and they are not difficult to find because they are the next three notes from note G to the next C (white keys). Since there are 5 fingers on each hand, then some of the fingers would be repeated to play a whole scale which consist of 8 notes. Below are the finger arrangement to play a full scale of C Major: 1    2   3,  1   2   3   4    5   Right Hand Fingers C   D   E   F   G   A   B   C d   r   ...
